A Punta Gorda city councilman was forced to walk home from city hall after the police chief told him he was too intoxicated to drive. This was just minutes after the city council's 9 a.m. meeting adjourned.

Erratic, strange and bizarre are just some of the words city leaders used to describe their fellow council member's behavior Wednesday morning.

Slurred words and strange behavior slowed down the Punta Gorda City Council meeting.

The chief confirmed he smelled alcohol on Wallace shortly after official business wrapped up. He also confirmed that he told Wallace he couldn't drive away from city hall because he was impaired.

We caught up with Wallace, who said he was stone-cold sober Wednesday morning.

NBC2: Were you drunk at all? Intoxicated in any way? Wallace: No.NBC2: You won't take a look at the video for us? Wallace: No.NBC2: Why not? Wallace: I didn't do anything wrong. I don't understand what you're saying.

While Wallace denies anything was out of the ordinary, his colleagues say they disagree.

We asked Punta Gorda Mayor Bill Albers whether he thought Wallace may have been drunk and he replied, "He certainly wasn't acting normally. I have no idea if it was alcohol related."
